6 weeks old

Yesterday our sweet little man was 6 weeks old!! The time is just flying by...just like everyone says it will! Henry is doing so great! He has figured out how to smile and is able to recognize mommy and daddy! He greets mommy every morning with that sweet little grin of his! Priceless!!

During the night we usually have been getting up once to feed, usually every 4-5 hours, however, I was having to literally wake him up because he wasnt wanting to wake up on his own. At those 3 AM feedings, he wasn't really eating much, which left me feeling bad for even waking him in the first place. After speaking to a friend about her lil one, I decided to let him sleep and just see how it goes. (I know most of you probably did that, but his pediatrician had previously told me to feed him every 5 hours). Well... we are night 5 of Henry sleeping a full 8 hours without even so much as a grunt! (He is a major grunter) He is such a great baby and we couldn't be more excited!! I am taking advantage of this time that he is sleeping and getting much needed rest myself! The only downfall to mommy is battling mastitis for the 2nd time around! Bring on the antibiotics!! =)
